Fastly Integration Overview

Cequence API Security Platform (ASP) and Fastly

Fastly content delivery network (CDN) integrates with Cequence ASP to prevent account takeovers, API-based business logic abuse, and to analyze API transactions.

Cequence API Security Platform (Cequence ASP) uses an ML-based approach to eliminate avenues of fraud caused by automated attacks targeted at web, mobile and API based applications. This document focuses on the SaaS based Cequence ASP solution which significantly reduces deployment overhead. On-premises Cequence ASP solutions are also available.

Traffic flow with Cequence ASP - Inline Hairpin Deployment

The steps required to integrate Cequence ASP with Fastly are relatively straightforward. All traffic that terminates on Fastly will be routed to Cequence ASP first for inspection and then forwarded to the application origin (Inline Upstream deployment) or forwarded back to Fastly from where it will be routed to the application origin (Inline Hairpin Deployment).
